During an interview with CNBC, Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Rob Manfred affirmed that Apple, NBC, and ESPN have all submitted bids for the media rights to broadcast MLB's 'Sunday Night Baseball' games, spanning the seasons from 2026 to 2028. Notably, Apple is vigorously pursuing these rights through its Apple TV+ platform, aiming to secure streaming privileges for this prominent sports content. Negotiations are still in progress, and a final decision regarding copyright ownership and associated fees has yet to be reached.
